Core Tip	Despite evidence that statins are useful therapeutic tools in treating diabetes, questions remain as to whether their effects are drug-specific or class-dependent, what mechanisms underlie these effects, and which statin is the most appropriate. We found that atorvastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin are equally effective in improving cardiovascular performance in Type 1 diabetic rats, and that the observed benefits are likely to be secondary to the reduction of oxidative stress by these drugs.
